in red and anti-Neurotactin (cell membrane marker) in green. |

The model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergoes a dimorphic
transition to filamentous pseudohyphal growth in response to nutritional
limitation. As many pathogenic fungi undergo similar developmental
switches that are required for virulence, yeast serves as a valuable
model to dissect the signaling cascades that control filamentous growth. |

24 hour zebrafish embryo with nuclear
expression of GFP. This is one of a growing number of transgenic lines
of fish developed in the Linney lab that are useful for many experiments
involving cell transfer, fate mapping and cell specification. |

A 120 cell cleavage stage sea urchin
embryo as viewed from the vegetal pole. Shown is the pattern of ß-catenin
in the nuclei of micromeres at the center and in the 16 veg 2 cells
surrounding the micromeres. This nuclear movement of ß-catenin
is essential for mesendoderm specification. Nuclear ß-catenin
starts a series of specification events that establish the important
embryonic fates by the end of cleavage. |

A three-dimensional reconstruction of
the neural tube, paraxial mesoderm and neural crest in a stage 24 Monodelphis embryo.
This shows that much neural crest migration into the facial region
is complete before there is any subdivision within the paraxial mesoderm,
or before the neural tube begins closure. This differs from all other
amniotes. |

Expression of the transcription factor
Distal-less in the five-fold symmetrical adult imaginal rudiment of
the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus. |
